The 11th annual ecumenical Dallas Benedictine Experience Retreat will take place at The Catholic Conference Center in Dallas from Wednesday, June 18, to Sunday, June 22, 2008. This retreat is presented by The Friends of St. Benedict, Washington, D.C., and endorsed by The Benedictine Community of the Holy Savior, which meets at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Cathedral. Participants will live at the conference center for five days, forming a temporary monastic community to experience the balanced way of life of the Rule of St. Benedict as it divides each day into private and group prayer, study, work, and leisure. Four Benedictine Offices (Lauds, Sext, Vespers, and Compline) will be sung each day in Gregorian chant. There will also be two classes each day on Benedictine spirituality. The retreat will be led by two nationally-known religious figures. Bishop Nicholas Samra is a bishop of the Melkite (Byzantine) Catholic Church, one of the Eastern Churches in the Catholic Communion. Sister Mary Donald Corcoran, O.S.B.Cam., Prioress of Transfiguration Monastery in Windsor, New York, is a Camaldolese Benedictine nun. This interdenominational retreat is open to anyone interested in learning and practicing Benedictine spirituality.
